Steam In-Home Streaming Launches

Valve announces the launch of
Steam In-Home Streaming, which will allow gamers to play Steam games on any
computer on their home networks, permitting lower-end machines to take advantage
of the power of the host PC. Here's word:

In-Home Streaming, a new feature
of Steam, is now released to all users. Players who have multiple computers at
home can immediately take advantage of the new feature. When you login to Steam
on two computers on the same network, they automatically connect, allowing you
to remotely install, launch, and play games as though you were sitting at the
remote PC.

Steam In-Home Streaming allows you to play your PC games on a lower-end
computer, such as a laptop or home theater PC, or a computer running another
operating system, such as Mac OS X, SteamOS, or Linux.

When you play a game using In-Home Streaming, video and audio are sent through
your home network from your high-end gaming PC to another device in your home.
From here, your keyboard, mouse, and controller input is sent back to the remote
computer.
